Miami tribe

The Miami are a Native American tribe native to Indiana in the Midwest region of the United States. The tribe had mixed relations with the USA, and the USA did not trust the tribe's neutrality, invading its lands during the American Revolutionary War and the Northwest Indian War. In 1811, the Miami base of Prophetstown was razed, and an 1826 treaty forced the Miami to cede much of its lands to the USA before their relocation to the Indian Territory in 1846 under the Indian Removal Act. In 2011, there were 3,908 Miami tribe members in the USA, most of them in Oklahoma.
